I'm responsible for Tadpole's current set of wireless LAN drivers, and I have a couple of questions.
1) MiniPRISM 2.5 devices. We have these in _our_ laptops (SPARC and x86 both), and I have a Solaris driver which works well at least on SPARC machines. (We've had issues with x86 needing special ACPI hooks to enable the radio, etc.) Do other folks have these devices such that there would be interest in open sourcing these drivers? I've made the case for this already with mgmt, but it would be nice to know what plans the community has. 2) WLAN configuration UI. I wrote Tadpole's Java application for managing WLAN stuff (kind of primitive, but it is easier for some folks that a command line.) I'm considering updating this tool to support wificonfig. (I've been working on a GTK version, which is a lot faster than the Java version, as well.) Does such a beast already exist somewhere, or is it already being developed by Sun? If not, how much interest is there in having Tadpole/GD contribute our work in this regard to OpenSolaris. (No guarantees here; I can only ask mgmt.) Thanks much.
